SPECIFICATION
A seat with a carrier, for example a child's vehicle seat
5
This invention relates to a seat, and more particularly to an infant's or child's vehicle seat.
A number of infant seats are known. Usually they involve connection of a seat body to a carrying 10 and/or reclining rest handle, so that the seat will hold the infant in any one of a number of sitting and reclining positions. Examples are the infant's seat disclosed in U. S. Patent 3,409,325 and the infant's chair or rocker disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,804,459. 15 Other examples are disclosed in the following U.S. Patents: 4,231,612; 3,934,934; and 3,948,556.
According to one apsect of the invention, a seat comprises:- a base with upwardly extending support means; a seat body; and means for selectively 20 pivotally coupling the seat body to the base, the selective pivotal coupling means comprising a head, a pocket formed on one of the head and support, and a tab for insertion into the pocket, the tab being formed on the other of the head and support. 25 The selective pivotal coupling means may comprise means defining a cavity in the head, the cavity including a side wall with teeth or splines. The pocket may be formed on the support and the tab formed on the head. The tab may include a tooth for 30 engagement in the pocket. The selective pivotal coupling means may further include a hub with teeth or splines for selective engagement and disengagement with the teeth or splines of the cavity, and means for coupling the hub non-rotatably to the seat 35 body, the hub and cavity being in coaxial alignment, and means for yieldably urging the teeth or splines of the hub into engagement with the teeth or splines of the cavity. The means for pivotally coupling the hub non-rotatably to the seat body may comprise a 40 non-circular cross-section post on the hub and a complementary non-circular cross-section opening in the seat body.
According to another aspect of the invention, an infant's or child's vehicle seat may include a base 45 providing an upwardly extending support for resting on a vehical seat, a seat body, and means for selectivally pivotally coupling the seat body to the base, the seat body including means defining a channel, a reinforcing member extending through 50 the channel to reinforce the seat body, a loop for engagement by a vehicle seat belt, and means for attaching the loop to the chair to anchor the chair to the vehicle seat.
The reinforcing member may comprise a length of 55 metal tube. The seat body may include a seat bottom and a seat back joined along adjacent regions thereof, and the length of metal tube may be formed to extend rearward across the underside of the seat bottom, across the adjacent regions of the seat 60 bottom and seat back and upward across the back side of the seat back. The loop is preferably at the end of the tube adjacent the front of the seat bottom. The tube may include a bight which extends across the back side of the seat back and a further portion 65 which extends downward across the backside of the seat back, across the adjacent regions of the seat bottom and seat back, and forward across the underside of the seat bottom.
Additionally, according to one embodiment of the invention, the further portion terminates in a second loop adjacent the front of the seat bottom. Means are provided for attaching the terminations of the length of metal tube to the seat bottom. The attachment means comprise tube and plugs and screws threaded through the seat bottom adjacent its front and into the tube end plugs. The channel is U-shaped in cross section, is closed when viewed from the underside of the seat bottom and back side of the seat back, and is open when viewed from the top side of the seat bottom and front side of the seat back. The channel is adjacent one side of the seat bottom and seat back and a second similarly configured channel is adjacent the other side of the seat bottom. The second channel is U-shaped in cross-section, is closed when viewed from the underside of the seat bottom and back side of the seat back, and is open when viewed from the top side of the seat bottom and front side of the seat back. The seat bottom and seat back each have a slot which extends away from the end of the channel to aid in positioning the reinforcing member in the channel.
The invention will now be described by way of example, with reference to the drawings in which:-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a combination infant's or child's car seat and carrier attached by a seat belt to a vehicle seat in a rearward facing direction;
Figure 2 is a section along lines 2,4 - 2,4 of Figure
1;
Figure 3 is an enlarged vertical section through through a shoulder harness restraint buckle or clip seen in Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a section of the seat portion only of the seat and carrier of Figure 1, on lines 2,4-2,4 thereof;
Figure 5 is a fragmentary section on lines 5-5 of Figure 4;
Figure 6 is a fragmentary section of a pivot joint portion on lines 6-6 of Figures 1 and 4;
Figure 7 is a fragmentary section on lines 7-7 of Figure 6; and
Figure 8 is an exploded perspective view of the pivot joints of Figures 6 and 7.
Referring particularly to Figures 1 to 2 and 6 to 8, an embodiment of combination infant car seat and carrier 20 includes a base 22 moulded from high-impact plastics material, and having a front edge 24, a rear edge 26, and side edges 28,30. Supports 32, 34 project upwardly from side edges 28,30, respectively. Supports 32,34 are integral with the base 22. Supports 32,34 have respective snap-fitted support heads 36,38. Support heads 36,38 engage supports 32,34, and thereby the base 22, in a manner which will be described. Each support head 36,38 includes a substantially right circular cylindrical top portion 40 (Figures 6,7 and 8) defining a cavity 42 which is open at one side 44 and closed at the other side 46.
Seat 20 further includes a seat body 48 which has a seat bottom portion 50, a seat back portion 52, and seat side portions 54 provided along the lateral

edges of the body 48. This body has a contoured surrounding lip 56 which with the seat side portions 54 extends downwardly, forming two ears 58. The ears 58 co-operate with the side portions 54 to define 5 a forwardly, rearwardly, and downwardly opening channel or pocket 60 along each of the seat body 48 sides. The support heads 36,38 are accommodated within these channels or pockets 60 in the assembled seat 20.
10 The two ears 58 have square cross-section openings 62 (Figures 7 and 8) aligned with each other and forming an axis 64 about which the body 48 is pivotally mounted on the base 22. A pair of hubs 66 each includes a post 68 of square cross section so as 15 to be movable along the axis 64 within a respective opening 62. Each hub 66 includes a right circular cylindrical portion 70 having an outside surface 72 with radially projecting teeth 74. A corresponding right circular cylindrical inner wall 76 of each cavity 20 42 has complementarily interfitting radially projecting teeth 78. Splines could replace the teeth 74 and 78.
Each seat side portion 54 has a square cross-section post 80, which is formed as a separate 25 element from the seat body 48, but which is substantially permanently attached to a respective seat side portion 54, e.g. by an acrylic adhesive. Each hub 66 has a complementary square cross-section well 82. Respective springs 84 within the wells 82 are 30 captured therein by the closed ends 86 of the posts 80. The seat body 48 is thus pivotally mounted about axis 64 on the base 22. The body 48 is selectively movable to any one of a number of positions between the upright position and reclining position, 35 by depression of ports 68 sufficiently to disengage teeth 74 from their respective complementary teeth 78, followed by rotation of the body 48 about axis 64 to a desired position, and then release of the pressure on the posts 68. This permits teeth 74 to 40 re-engage teeth 78, by virtue of the force of springs 84.
The seat body 48 is reinforced by a tubular metal frame 90 (Figures 2 and 4 to 6) which is somewhat U-shaped when viewed from the front or back of the 45 seat. The seat bottom portion 50 and back portion 52 have a pairof tranversely spaced channels 92 which are open to the front 94 of the seat body 48 but are closed to the rear 96. The channels have openings 98 at their upper ends on the seat back portion 52, and 50 openings 100 on their ends provided on the seat bottom portion 50. Slots 102 adjacent openings 98, 100 permit assembly of the reinforcing tubular metal frame 90 into the channels 92.
The frame 90 follows generally the contour of the 55 back portion 52 and bottom portion 50, but at the slots 102 adjacent openings 100, the frame 90 ends extend away from the bottom portion 50 at 106 and then back toward the bottom portion 50 at 108, to form loops or hooks for engaging a seat belt 111 60 associated with a vehicle seat 113 when the infant seat or carrier 20 is positioned in the rearward-facing position on the seat 113, Figure 1. The ends of the frame 90 are fitted with tube end plugs 117 which are attached to the seat bottom portion 50 by screws 119 65 threaded through the seat bottom 50 and plugs 117.
Rivets 112 applied through the walls of channels 92 fix the tubular frame 90 to the seat body portion 48. A urethane padded vinyl cushion 114 is then riveted or otherwise attached to the body portion 48 to provide comfort for the infant or child in the seat 20.
A shoulder harness 116 is anchored at its ends through slots 118 in the seat back portion 52 to a transverse bight 120 of the upper end of the frame 90 by means of buckles 122 which permit adjustment of the harness 116 to accomodate infants of different sizes. A safety buckle or clip 124 at the lower end of the harness 116 is engageable with an upstanding metal fastener 126 provided in a well 128 in the seat bottom portion 50. Placement of the fastener 126 in the well 128 keeps it out of the way. The fastener 126 is riveted to the bottom of the well 128. The construction of the buckle or clip 124 is best illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. It includes a housing 125 constructed from a high-impact plastics material and having a moulded loop 127 for engagement by the harness 116. An opening 129 in the end of housing 125 opposite loop 127 accepts the end of fastener 126. Fastener 126 has an opening 131 for engagement by a boss 133 formed on a metal clasp member 135 movably positioned in housing 125 and urged by a metal leaf spring 137 to a fastener 126-engaging orientation. Spring 137 is captured in housing 125 between a lip 139 formed at the inner end of clasp member 135 and the head of a rivet 141 through a wall of the housing 125.
Turning now to the construction of the support heads 36,38 and their engagement with the supports 32,34, each head 36,38 includes a body portion 130 extending downwardly from its respective right circular cylindrical portion 40 (Figures 6 to 8). The body portions 130 are open on their sides 132 facing the seat side portions 54. The body portions 130 have reinforcing ribs orwebs 134. In the present embodiment there are three such ribs which, in addition to the front and rear walls 136,138, respectively, of the body portion 130, provide the necessary strength forthe support heads 36,38.
Each body portion 130 further includes a tab 140 for insertion into a respective upwardly opening pocket 142 formed in its respective support 32,34. The central reinforcing rib or web 134 extends downward, along with the front and rear walls 136,138, to the bottom 144 of its respective tab 140. Each tab 140 has a smooth, continuous inner side wall 146 which has a pair of outwardly projecting teeth 148 adjacent its lower end. Teeth 148 have flat upwardly facing surfaces 150 and downwardly and inwardly facing surfaces 152 angled at 30° to vertical.
A pocket or opening 154 (Figure 6) is formed in the top of each support 32,34. The openings 154 extend vertically entirely through the base 22 and accomodate the tabs 140 of support heads 36,38. The interior walls 156 of pockets 154 have reinforcing ribs 158 which make the tabs 140 a tight sliding fit into pockets 154. The reinforcing ribs 158 on the inner walls 156 of pockets 154 terminate at 160 to accomodate the teeth 148 on the inner side walls 146 of tabs 140. A bonding agent, for example styrene solvent, is applied to the outer side walls of tabs 140 after they have been inserted into pockets 154.

During the insertion, teeth 148 cause the interior walls 156 of pockets 154 to be deflected outwardly slightly to pass the tabs 140 with theirteeth 148. When the teeth 148 reach the bottom 160 of the ribs 5 158, the interior walls 156 of pockets 154 return to their undetected states, and the styrene hardens, securing the heads 36,38 on the supports 32,34, respectively.
